Things to think about now

During pregnancy, your doctor may recommend various tests for a variety of reasons. You and your doctor should discuss which tests you need and when.

Prenatal testing is like a window into your baby’s health, and makes you better equipped to address any potential concerns down the road.

The triple test is a common screening that is most accurate when given between the 16th and 18th week of pregnancy. The triple test checks for chromosomal disorders, such as Down's Syndrome, and spinal abnormalities, like spina bifida. This maternal blood screening measures:

AFP – a protein produced by the fetus

hCG – a hormone produced within the placenta

Estriol – estrogen produced by the fetus and placenta

Questions to consider before testing:

What will you do with the information?

Will the information help your doctor better care for you and your baby?

What happens next week?

Breastfeeding Disclaimer

Breastfeeding is the best source of infant nutrition. Good maternal nutrition is important for the preparation and maintenance of breastfeeding. When thinking of using infant formula, a mother should be aware of

the financial and social implications of formula feeding,

the difficulty of reversing the decision not to breastfeed and

the care that must be taken to prevent partial formula feeding from interfering with lactation.

In addition, proper preparation of powder or concentrated liquid infant formula requires the use of boiled water for the purposes of mixing formula and cleaning implements and the manufacturer’s mixing instructions must always be followed. Improper mixing or preparation may make a baby sick. A healthcare professional should always be consulted before initiating formula feeding.
